“Playing for the first-team at the end of last season was a dream come true and I want more of that.

“My family and all the [Academy] coaches have helped me get this far and now I’ve got David Unsworth. He’s really helped me - I’ve become fitter and a better player, so I owe him a lot of thanks as well.

“With the new manager, you get the nod every now and again to train with the first-team. Those are the opportunities when you have got to show how good you are. When they come around, you have to do well.”

Under-23s coach David Unsworth, who gave Kenny his debut as caretaker manager, has high hopes for the Everton youngster.

“When I first came back into the building [in 2013], Jonjoe was one of the players who caught my eye,” the former Toffees defender said.

"He has shown desire to want to play for this Club and is a proper Everton footballer.

“He plays with enormous enthusiasm, which I love, and he’s got great qualities in numerous positions.

“He’s a great listener who applies himself so well in training, he takes on information and is an absolute pleasure to coach and have around the place.”
